Helsinki Blood

Entreated by a desperate mother whose daughter, a young woman with Down syndrome, has gone missing while seeking employment in Finland, Kari Vaara pursues leads through Helsinki's high-class clubs to the darkest circles in underground trafficking.

After the horrendous crimes committed by police and politicians in Helsinki White, Kari needs to extricate himself from the black ops he agreed to. He was duped. All the money he got went into the pockets of crooked officials. Milo decides only drastic action can right things. On top of everything else Kari's family is in more danger than ever and Kate is a mental wreck. Can Kari save his marriage and his reputation--and all of their necks? I liked this book better than the last one but neither of these last two have been as atmospheric and good as the first two in the series. The author may be getting just a bit lazy. Instead of creating interesting characters it's all shoot-em-up.

Throughly enjoyed this book. I regret I did not start with the first of the series. Interesting lead character and plot

"Man Book" I agree with candle, I read one of his other books and thought he was worth following up on. This story is just blood, gore, booze, over sexed, over built, underage not yet women chasing after Varra and his friends. But of course he loves his wife and he's a good man. If you're into Norse Noire for me this has too much American in it. see comment by oldproof re: Lucifers Tears, it fits all the other books I've checked out.
